So VH1 has resurrected their Divas special, and guess which completely non-divas will be headlining? The network recently announced a line-up which includes Leona Lewis, Adele, Kelly Clarkson and wait for it… Miley Cyrus. We can kind of get behind the other three, but what business does some raspy-voiced Disney slut have occupying a space previously reserved for such voices as Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Stevie Nicks.
To express our distaste for VH1's decision, we've compiled a list of ten other singers we'd like to see in place of Miley Cyrus. Some of this is tongue-in-cheek, though we're serious about some of our choices.
While it may not be as sexy as previous Top Ten lists (see here and here), we had to get it off our chests. Here's hoping that VH1 picks some actual divas for the final four spots.

For our top ten list, follow the JUMP:
10. Lil Kim: After getting a glimpse of the pint-sized rapper's duet with Cyndi Lauper, this would be worth it for the ratings alone. They should do a reprise of their live "Time After Time"/"Lighters Up" mash-up, and I'd advise Kim to break out the Diana Ross-approved outfit she wore at the 1999 MTV VMAs. Because if a diva touches your boob, you are also a diva. Or something like that.
9. Dolly Parton: I know they're trying to appeal to the tweens and all, but could we inject this motherfucker with a little ol' school gay? What better way to accomplish that goal than hiring the woman who originally sang "I Will Always Love You".
I would actually like to see Taylor Swift perform.
lol. miley diva? lol lol lol.
leona lewis for sure. other 2 are ok.
miley just lol.
jennifer hudson for sure, but the girls they have lined up are certainly not “diva” worthy… i really wish they would have put more thought into the line-up than just picking random young singers..
if amy winehouse could clean herself up enough, she’d be a great addition to the line-up.
Ditto on the Swift comment. She’s been running the charts for a while…
None of these women are Diva’s, and since when did Diva status mean a couple of hits.
Last I checked, a Diva was someone who everyone loved, who’s been around for YEARS and has the attitude to back up the title Diva.
Guess they’re just kinda throwing that term around pretty losely nowadays huh?
Miley! Ha!
I would LOVE for Beth Ditto to go!
Whitney should promote her comeback at this Diva spectacle.
Beyonce Helllo!! she has a song called diva shes the biggest diva out there
Beyonce for sure. 😉
